fyo,

From the article you posted:

"All test firms, however, said major memory producers have enough 8-and-16-station Direct RDRAM testers to meet initial production needs."

Also form the article you posted:

"However, Gayn Erickson, semiconductor test product marketing manager for Hewlett-Packard ATG in Santa Clara, Calif., said production level quantities of DDR will also require new test equipment to handle higher speed protocols and new control protocols."

Maybe a better header might be, "Memory Manufactures Face Hurdles Regarding Test Equipment Availability".

Re: "Thread - Re: Yet Another Rambus Delay?"

Note that these are all intended for testing memory devices, they are not for testing logic devices. A similar problem exists for RDRAM memory controllers because they can't be tested by memory testers and no viable 800MHz testers exist for logic. Another reason why you won't see fullspeed cache on the K7 anytime soon.
